If u do it on one side u have to do it on the other
Clown:
So the it would be -5y
Clown:
Then u divide it
Clown:
Then u get ur answer

Real
Clown:
Wait i did it wrong
Clown:
Move 5y to the right side
Arieonna:
but when i type 4x - -4x it pops up as 4x+4x in stead Minus
Clown:
Then divide both sides by 4

That would be because when you subtract a negative number from anything it ends up becoming positive
lemme find a diagram or something to explain it better
Subtracting a negative number is basically the same thing as adding a positive #

There

U have to move it to the right side of the equation
Clown:
Then divide both sides by 4
Clown:
So like this
Clown:
\[x=\frac{ 4+5y }{ 4 }\]
OLIVER69:
Solve 12x -6y = -8 for x
12x - 6y = -8
then add 6y to both sides
12x = 6y-8
then divide both sides by 12
x = 1/2 y + (-2/3)
the subsitie 1/2y + (-2/3) in for x in the second equation
4(1/2y + (-2/3)) - 5y = 4
the simplify both sides
-3y + (-8/3) = 4
add -8/3 to both sides
-3y = 20/3
then divide both sides by -3
y = -20/9
then substitute -20/y in for y in the x = 1/2y + (-2/3)
which equals x = -16/9
Answer:
x = -16/9 y = -20/9
